Location: Potsdam, Germany 
Contact Person: Manfred Stede

Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics 

Call Deadline: 22-Jun-2016 

Meeting Description:

The goal of this workshop is to promote the study of argumentation in natural
language, be it in spoken dialogue, written monologue, or multilogue in social
media. We aim on the one hand for a deeper understanding of how people use
language to exchange arguments, and on the other hand to address the
linguistic foundations of automatic argument mining techniques in various
types of media.

2nd Call for Papers:

Topics of Interest include:

- Features that distinguish argumentative language from that of other text
types (e.g., narrative, descriptive)
- Features that characterize certain portions of argumentation (stances,
justifications, objections, etc.)
- Linguistic expression of particular argumentation schemes
- Modes of argumentation: how is it realized in different media, genres, or
domains
- Compiling corpora of argumentative language, and developing analysis methods
for relevant features to be annotated
- Relations between the language of argumentation and areas of linguistic
pragmatics, such as discourse structure, explanation, persuasion, authority,
ethos and rationality
- Contrastive (cross-linguistic) studies of the dimensions described above
- Automatic generation of arguments in natural language, e.g. from underlying
knowledge bases

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
